UGI Utilities, Inc. has announced a comprehensive gas main replacement project in Nazareth, scheduled to start on April 7, 2025. This initiative is part of the company's ongoing efforts to ensure the safety and reliability of its utility services. The project will focus on upgrading infrastructure along several key streets, including East Prospect Street, South Cedar Street, East Park Street, South Broad Street, East Walnut Street, and South Main Street, with construction activities planned from Monday to Friday, 7 am to 5 pm, through late September.
The construction is expected to bring about road closures, detours, and traffic delays, alongside parking restrictions on the affected streets. Residents and businesses in the area may also experience temporary interruptions to natural gas service. UGI Utilities, Inc. has emphasized the necessity of property access to inspect and relight equipment as part of the upgrade process, urging cooperation from the community.
Despite the potential for temporary inconvenience, the project offers an opportunity for some homes and businesses along the project route to convert to natural gas, highlighting the dual benefits of infrastructure improvement and service expansion. The completion timeline, however, may be subject to adjustments based on weather conditions and on-site working environments.
UGI Utilities, Inc. advises residents and businesses in the affected areas to plan accordingly and remain flexible during the construction period.
